    Abstract: Disclosed herein are devices, methods, and systems for navigating and positioning an autonomous robot within a map of an environment. The system may obtain an occupancy grid associated with the environment around the robot, wherein the occupancy grid includes grid points of potential destinations for the robot. The system may determine, for each grid point of the grid points of potential destinations, a weight for the grid point based on a distance to the grid point from a predefined reference point and based on a directional deviation to the grid point, where the directional deviation comprises an angular difference between a current heading of the robot and an angular direction from the reference point toward the grid point. The system may select, based on the weight, a target point from among the grid points and generate a movement instruction associated with moving the robot toward the target point.
